Mat & Steven, Thank you! Big Smile [:D]

Masao, I'm not sure. I have a sheet of PNT "Hull Graphic Decals". I might chose something from that. I sprayed the white base coat today and I'll be painting the cooling fins gun metal tomorrow.

If this ship was in service during the time of Captain Pike ("The Cage") it would have the standard Starfleet pennants then. What kind of pennants came before is up to you, since Mr. Sternbach didn't show any in his painting.

Masao, I'm building this as the USS Republic, Ensign Kirk's first deep space assignment. I can see the ship being still in service when Pike was captain of the Enterprise.
A few pics of detail areas. Please note that the impulse insert isn't finished.

Hey Jim, The last I was told was that it would be out in June. I quit asking because they keep changing the release date. The kit is being put out by Starship Modeler and you could ask them. John Lester is the owner and this is his email address onezero@aol.com
He is a real nice guy and I'm sure he can give you a better idea about the current release date.

Woody, it turned out to be an excellent looking ship. Quick question, how did you get the two different shades, red and orange, on the end of the forward nacelle? I am going to have to go back to the original Baton Rogue post to remember how you got the nacelles to look the way they do, the sprocket look. I was thinking the it would be nice if FSM actually made a SCRATCHBUILD/KIT BASHING forum on here.

Well I cast the bussards in clear red resin and hand painted the pattern with orange and yellow acrylic paint. By the way the bussard caps provided with the kit will be much nicer than the ones I cast up, very clear.

Woody, at the beginning it did look smaller when most pieces were smaller than the palm of your hand. Put together it makes for a nice mantle piece. You have out done yourself. There are some ship that are very nice but then there are ship that look as if they belong in space along side a starbase or even coming out of dry dock. your Baton Rogue is one that looks like it needs to be in orbit.

Thanks! I'm looking forward to seeing what the kit looks like built by others.

Thanks! It was a fun project. Next project from the Chronology will be the Marshall class.

A quick update on the ole Baton Rouge. It's scheduled to be released again in the near future.
